remember how many shows ministry of love* played? it was 3!!! and one was at the douglas rec-centre with reserve 34, the wpp, the red light sting and us!!! and that was in 1999!!! actually, jason, ministry of love* played seven shows, the last of which you couldn't make it to. the first two were at wa fraser, and then there was the one at douglas rec, and then one at the java joint with some terrible bands and the human hi-lite reel, and there were two at yale, and finally at a hall in langley with the simpletons, some dude who lives at the alf house now, and second narrows (who are pretty big now). the band ended because we all hated it, and adam henkel left, so we used that as a reason to quit, even though he was tied with tom mclung for the least important member of the band. the ministry of love* had various different recordings, some of which consisted of jason, tom and myself on a four-track recorder during our first practice (which ended up being us just walking to 7-11 and then getting invited to a party and putting jack daniels in our slurpees). the first show we played at wa fraser was without jonny on drums, and it was completely improvised, and we traded instruments the whole time. after our douglas rec show, i drew a pin design on a flyer and we gave it to zoe from the red light sting, and then we made our pins. we were also scheduled to play at ms. t's cabaret with the milwaukees, and the metic, and it was set-up by ryan walter wagner, but the show was cancelled. we talked to jesse gander about recording, but it wasn't worth putting any money into. and that, my friends, is one of the most embarassing chapters of our lives.

i think the raddest show the altered ego ever played was with the blue collar bullets at the indoor skate park on the cfb chilliwack army base. there was a huge swirling moshpit of death and a giant boxing ring, and shon fell off the skate ramp and snapped his gibson sg in half. it was rad. what are your guy's raddest show memories...?

that show was on Jan. 16, 1998. I still have the poster on my door. It was my first show ever. Even before Weird Al Yankovic at the pne.

actually i don't know if taking off your pants helps... but i definitely think it's worth a try...
stu - yeah that was a rad show - Outcast Individuals and the Altered Ego had tonnes of rad shows together... remember Synde's birthday party at the Java Joint... that was rad too... if any band should do a reunion show it should be Outcast Individuals...

I think OI's first show was with altered egos, blue collar bullets and makeshift at skunk's in abbotsford on the 20 foot high stage.. what an uncomfortable venue that was jason.. that's 'SOY... NOT... OI' .. the sing along part from our hit single, "Jared Listens to Emo Now" actually i don't know if taking off your pants helps... but i definitely think it's worth a try... stu - yeah that was a rad show - Outcast Individuals and the Altered Ego had tonnes of rad shows together... remember Synde's birthday party at the Java Joint... that was rad too... if any band should do a reunion show it should be Outcast Individuals...
